IPRA calls 2012 police shooting 'unwarranted'

The agency sustained complaints in the family's lawsuit that the officer used unreasonable force when shooting the teen, who was 50 feet away when he was struck in the back of the head. The officer, Brandon Ternand, had claimed he thought the teen was armed, but no weapon was found.

The lawsuit was settled last year for nearly $1 million. IPRA's allegations will now go to police Superintendent Eddie Johnson, who will decide whether to bring departmental charges.

Records show Ternand has been involved in two other shootings, half a dozen lawsuits and more than 25 complaints, Gorner reports.

Chicago sues over 'sanctuary city' funding

Mayor Rahm Emanuel's Law Department filed a lawsuit Monday against the Department of Justice over its efforts to withhold some grant money from so-called sanctuary cites, report John Byrne and Hal Dardick.

Emanuel wants to block the Trump administration from requiring that cities meet three conditions to receive funding from the DOJ — sharing immigration status information with federal authorities, providing unlimited access to immigration officials at police stations and giving 48-hour notice before releasing prisoners in cases of possible immigration violations.

This year, Chicago was counting on $3.2 million from the grants in question.

Trubisky shines, Glennon disappoints in Bears preseason opener

It was only one game, but Bears fans got a look at why the team traded up to get Mitch Trubisky.

The Bears rookie quarterback completed his first 10 passes and led touchdown drives on his first two series in the Bears' 24-17 loss to Denver on Thursday night at Soldier Field, reports Rich Campbell.

He finished 18 of 25 with a 103.1 passer rating. Mike Glennon, signed to an expensive free agent deal, didn't fare as well, throwing a pick-6 on his second pass and leading four scoreless drives.

While coach John Fox was impressed, he said the depth chart at quarterback isn't changing after one preseason game. That's a mistake, writes David Haugh, who said Trubisky's performance was good enough to force Fox to keep an open mind.

Keep in mind Trubisky's performance came against the Broncos' backups, writes Brad Biggs, who sald the rookie should at least move up to No. 2 on the depth chart, ahead of Mark Sanchez.

Cook County soda tax violates food stamp rules, feds say

The Cook County penny-per-ounce sweetened beverage tax could cost the state $87 million in federal food stamp money, state officials warned on Thursday, report Greg Trotter and Ally Marotti.

Purchases with the SNAP food stamp program are exempt from the tax under federal law, but Cook County is allowing some retailers to tax them and provide refunds. The USDA warned Illinois that this arrangement is unacceptable and that federal money could be withheld if the problem isn't fixed.

Cook County, meanwhile, is looking to Philadelphia for lessons. The city's soda tax went into effect on Jan. 1 and revenues have come in lower than expected, but the city has still raised almost $40 million. Cook County lowered its own projection in part because of that.

But opponents of the tax say Philadelphia is more of a warning for Cook County with retailers reporting sales declines and soda companies laying off workers, reports Trotter.

The soda tax was on the mind of Cook County Democrats who were holding their endorsement session for next year's election. Many were concerned the tax, coupled with state income tax and property tax hikes, would lead to a revolt against the party, report Rick Pearson and Hal Dardick.

Gender memo written out of love, says fired Google engineer

James Damore, the Google engineer from the Chicago area who was fired after writing a memo on gender differences that circulated at the company and on social media, said in an interview with Bloomberg that he wrote it due to problems with the company's culture.

The memo was published internally to Google employees last week and said that biological differences partly explain why software engineering is dominated by men and argued that conservative viewpoints are suppressed at the company.

Damore was fired late Monday after the memo went viral on social media over the weekend. "Portions of the memo violate our Code of Conduct and cross the line by advancing harmful gender stereotypes in our workplace," said Google Chief Executive Sundar Pichai.

On Thursday, Pichai canceled an internal town hall to address gender discrimination after employee questions leaked online from the company's internal messaging service.

Country music legend Glen Campbell dies at 81

Glen Campbell, one of country music's biggest stars in the 1960s and 1970s, died on Tuesday after a long and public battle with Alzheimer's disease. He was 81.

Campbell's career spanned six decades and 75 chart hits, most notably "Rhinestone Cowboy," "Gentle on My Mind" and "Wichita Lineman."

Campbell began as a backing guitarist for pop, rock and country records, playing for Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley and the Beach Boys, even filling in for Brian Wilson on tour for that band in 1965.

He hosted his own variety show, "The Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour," from 1969 to 1972 and had a supporting role in the 1969 film "True Grit," which starred John Wayne.

Campbell was diagnosed with Alzheimer's in 2011 and performed a farewell tour shortly after.
